Russia plans nuclear wargame

[Bereta_Eder]

Nice, it rhymes

The Orthodox Axis always has its charm

However, even better would be a Russia - EU. Both benefit.
Besides the "West" has been minimized to US/UK now (sorry canada doesn't count NYE)

Just imagine M. Jackson singing his "Heal the World" song with my text.

The Orthodox Axis-

On the other hand, what do you think such a fraction should be? How do you determine how much is enough?

You see, it's very unlikely that nukes will ever be used. Therefore, their impact basically reduces to a psychological effect, but a very important psychlogical effect, especially for present-day Russia, which is deficient in many other important fields, including the conventional military. The size of the effect has someting to do with the size of the arsenal.

You didn't answer the real question though. Who is threatening Russia, and why do Russians feel threatened?

I am genuinely curious.

NYE, the "west". It has been known to have no moral qualms in furthering its interests through blood if it can find a weakness. Kind of like a rat really.

Like anybody else, including Greeks, my fine, furry, friend.

Gotta love NYE

Now, I never expected to hear that.

That was a cross post. But since NYE's post includes admittance of the abovementioned proposition let it stand as it is

Who?
The country that started its crusade for oil and other natural resources remained on this planet.

Why?
Because we have sh!tloads of such resources...including uranium.

So, come and get us.

You expect the liberal democracies of the world to not claw and cling for survival when directly challenged? You show a remarkable ability for naivete.

[Bereta_Eder]

On the contrary, I just say it like it is. Notice the word "interest", not "survival". And I wouldn't generalize it to include all liberal democracies.

Sorry to disappoint, but nobody I know of wants to come and get anything. OTOH, if you want to sell something, I am sure there will be buyers.

From 1950 to 1990 or so, our interests were survival. You're a bit slow if you hadn't caught that by now.

I'm not surprised, since you don't have friends in Bush's gang... I mean Bush's administration.

NYE, I think you're delluding yourself if you think it was.

[Lancer]

Huh Spiffor... I'd heard that in the heart of every Frenchman is a yearning for imperialism, but I never guessed it was true until I read your posts...

Yet it makes sense. You percieve the US as being imperialist, and envy it, and so jealosy makes you hate us!

Explains alot...

Anyway, we're not imperialist, but are merely trying to selflessly create a better world.





Btw, all your bases are belong to us.
